Job Description:
MIT Postdoc in Brain/Spinal Cord Electrical Stimulation and Recording In-Vivo in Mice/Rats
As a postdoctoral researcher at MIT, you will be responsible for characterizing and validating micro-nano-devices in cultured neurons. This includes injecting or implanting the devices into the mouse brain or peripheral nervous system (PNS). Your role will involve in-vivo characterization and validation of these devices in mice/rats, conducting brain stimulation and/or recording, and demonstrating applications in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Neuropathic Pain.
How to Apply: Submit your application on the MIT website. We are actively seeking candidates to fill this position, so apply as soon as possible.
